Sam Kirmayer Trio featuring Ben Paterson — High and Low Album Launch

Sam Kirmayer, guitarist, composer and native Montrealer, plays straight-ahead jazz that has been described as “no pretence or posturing, only musical sincerity” (Jazz Guitar Life). CBC Music included him in their list of "The 35 Best Canadian Jazz Musicians Under 35”.

Sam’s sophomore album, High And Low (Cellar Live) features first call Montreal drummer Dave Laing and internationally acclaimed New York City based organist Ben Paterson, who Downbeat has described as “as soulful a pianist/organist as exists anywhere.”

The album was recorded in 2017 following a performance at Upstairs, and the trio now returns to celebrate its release.
